The Toll in Gaza and Israel, Day by Day

By KAREN YOURISH and JOSH KELLER

After weeks of rising tensions following the killing of three Israeli teenagers and the apparent revenge killing of a Palestinian teenager, Israel began a major offensive against Hamas in Gaza on July 8. On August 5, Israel announced that it had withdrawn its forces from Gaza, and Hamas said it would engage in talks on a lasting arrangement to keep the peace.

Notes: Palestinian death tallies are provided by the Palestinian Health Ministry and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Because of the fluid nature of reports from the battlefield, the daily numbers of deaths and attacks may not add up to the totals. The figures shown reflect the latest data available. Targets struck by Israel may have been hit more than once. The number of Israeli deaths includes a foreign worker who was killed on July 23.

Correction: July 27, 2014

An earlier version of this graphic misstated the Palestinian death toll as of July 26. The total had topped 1,000, not 1,100. The graphic also misstated, using information from the Palestinian Health Ministry, the number of bodies recovered from the rubble during the lull in fighting July 26. One hundred seventeen bodies were recovered, not 147.
